Missionaries Aren't Special.

Missionaries aren't special. There is nothing about foreign geography that makes us super-sanctified or sin-proof. Were tempted to deny like Peter, pout like Elijah, get cynical like Jonah, and turn back like Mark. We deal with depression and loneliness and pain and threats and fears and danger and frustration. Our woman and children get injured in the fray. Our new converts get attacked worse than we do. War is hell. So please pray!...pour over our prayer letters (and reply once in a while). And when you pray, pray the prayer that Paul requested: that the word of the Lord would spread quickly and be glorified (2 Thessalonians 3:1). That's the crux of the matter. That's the reason we came. ~David Hosaflook
